The use of molecular markers for thyroid cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and surveillance have been an exciting area of study and change. Recent investigative focus on promising new markers will very likely lead to improvements in the diagnostic utility of fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) in predicting malignancy, as well as provide more accurate prognostic information pre- and postoperatively. The 2010 Annual Meeting of the American Association for Endocrine Surgeons featured a symposium dedicated to molecular marker testing in thyroid cancer and its potential clinical applicability.
分子标志物在甲状腺癌的诊断、预后和监测中的应用一直是一个令人兴奋的研究领域,发生了很多变化。最近,研究的重点集中在有前途的新标志物上,这很可能会提高细针穿刺活检(FNAB)在预测恶性肿瘤方面的诊断效用,并提供更准确的术前和术后预后信息。美国内分泌外科学会 2010 年年会的一个专题研讨会专门讨论了甲状腺癌的分子标志物检测及其潜在的临床应用。
